El Pueblo

A nice family owned restaurant and casual atmosphere. The interior is dated but clean. Staff is very friendly and brought us out chips every time we were starting to run lowComplimentary chips and salsa is always a plus. Food was great, some of the best seasoned Spanish rice I've had at a restaurant. My only complaint is that the prices are a bit high compared to other similar restaurants with comparable food. And its not like the dishes are of a higher class of dining. So even though I enjoyed the Margarita, Chips, and Burrito I El Pueblo is not quite as affordable as other local Hispanic restaurants.

El Pueblo was one of my pre pandemic go to places. I am guessing we ate here a couple to three times a month. Recently we started this back up again and I was happy they remain a good place to get a decent meal for a good price. The staff is always friendly with quick service. They used to have a band every Thursday, I'm not sure if they still do but to be honest I always thought it was a bit small to pack in a group of singers. Stop in and say hi to the staff they are always happy to see you.

Always great tasting Mexican food with quick service. Family run business as well as have regular lunch specials and others during dinner hours

I have been to this little restaurant right off Plainfield Road in blue Ash a couple of times but it's been about five years. We tried to order from the à la cart menu because we are seniors and don't eat that much, but that was a problem, right away with the waiter, he would not listen to what we wanted. He kept telling us what we wanted to eat from the menu. I've never really experienced anything like that before other than that the service was pretty quick, and it seemed to be a busy place and it smelled delicious. We just got the wrong waiter for us that night.

My husband and I stopped in for dinner last night after not visiting for about 2 years. We stopped coming to eat here after a couple bad experiences in a row. We decided to give it another chance last night and were glad that we did.Shortly after being seated complimentary salsa and chips were brought to the table. Both were fresh and we enjoyed them. There isn't any heat to the salsa but it's good. Their menu has changed a bit since our last visit. It is smaller, which is a good thing. My husband ordered a combo meal and chose two Crispy Beef Tacos and a Chile Relleno. I ordered the Shrimp Stuffed Chile Relleno. I'd never had it before but it sounded really good. It was delicious! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the rich, spicy sauce that the Chile relleno was sitting in was yummy! There was just enough spicy kick to know you were eating a hot pepper but not so much spice that you sweat or have a belly ache. My husband said that his Chile relleno was also quite good. He said it was better than it had been on previous visits and he really enjoyed it. He said the tacos were ok but he didn't care much for the spices used to flavor the beef. But he said that everything tasted fresh. Both of our dishes were served with rice & beans. His were the standard creamed pinto beans and mine were a black bean with feta cheese. I thought the rice & beans tasted really good but my entree was both filling and heavy and I could only take a bite to taste them.Our server was great! He's been there a long time and has always been the one who makes sure everything runs smoothly in the restaurant. The one downside is the noise level. It's not a huge place, and it wasn't super crowded last night, but it's an incredibly loud restaurant.

Simple but tasty Mexican food. I got the Fajitas Texas (chicken, steak, and shrimp) with corn tortillas. Came with a generous plate of rice, beans, and taco toppings. Made for some good tacos, with enough to take home leftovers. Not a bad option if you're in the area!

One of my favorite restaurants of all time. La comida y el servicio siempre son excelente!

Definitely not the best Mexican food place I've been to, but not the worst. They have pretty strong margaritas so that's a plus. They have a few different fruity flavors, such as strawberry and peach, and then they have just your regular lime margarita. I've tried a couple of their other drinks and they're pretty strong as well. I will say the food wasn't the prettiest, but it was pretty tasty, especially the enchiladas. I've been there twice now with a group of 8+ people and we've never had to wait for a table. The is attentive enough and nice enough. Not the best serving experience, not the worst. They will always keep the chips and salsa coming, though, and that's usually the best part of going to any Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is quiet and the decor is what you would expect with a Mexican restaurant. If a group of friends wantedTo go again I would definitely go!

Eating at El Pueblo will make you long for hospital food (and you might get your wish). The chimichanga consisted of unseasoned, boiled chicken wrapped in an undercooked tortilla covered in a flavorless, white cheese sauce. The fajita fixings, which you would expect to be served on a sizzling iron fajita skillet, arrived at the table dried out and lifeless like 3 day-old leftovers that you probably should have thrown in the garbage a couple of nights ago. The "ambience" has all the charm of an abandoned 1980's Pizza Hut and was exceptionally noisy despite only having a few tables of customers. The server was competent but bizarrely effusive as if to overcompensate for the disappointing meal he was about to serve - we never saw him again until it was time for the check. The beer was cold so there's that, but I can think of better ways to spend $80.

WOW! Another GREAT Mexican Restaurant! Chips are thin and crispy with and the Salsa, PERFECTION. Chimichanga's are a food group by themselves. Coming back soon,
